    • It is the rate of flow of electric charge through a conductor

    • Current can be either direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC)

    • In a series circuit, the current remains the same throughout

    • Ohm's Law relates current, voltage, and resistance: I = V/R

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. What is voltage
  • Ans. 

    Voltage is the difference in electric potential between two points in a circuit, measured in volts.

    • Voltage is the force that pushes electric current through a circuit

    • It is measured in volts (V)

    • Voltage is the potential difference between two points in a circuit

    • Higher voltage means more potential energy available to move electrons

    • Voltage can be DC (direct current) or AC (alternating current)

  • Answered by AI
  • Q3. What is vcb full form
  • Ans. 

    VCB full form is Vacuum Circuit Breaker.

    • VCB stands for Vacuum Circuit Breaker.

    • It is a type of circuit breaker that uses a vacuum to extinguish the arc when the contacts open.

    • VCBs are commonly used in medium voltage applications.

    • They are more reliable and require less maintenance compared to other types of circuit breakers.

    • They are commonly used in residential and commercial buildings for electrical safety.

    • Examples of MCB brands include Schneider Electric, Siemens, and Legrand.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q5. What is transform
  • Ans. 

    A transformer is a device that transfers electrical energy between two or more circuits through electromagnetic induction.

    • Transformers consist of two coils of wire, known as the primary and secondary coils.

    • The primary coil is connected to a power source, creating a magnetic field when current flows through it.

    • This magnetic field induces a voltage in the secondary coil, allowing for the transfer of electrical energy.
